Some very astute observations by Former Iowa Congressman Greg Ganske on crazy Uncle Ron:
*"Right now it’s an anybody-but-Romney primary. If Ron Paul wins Iowa, it will become anybody-but-Ron Paul going forward."* *"Ron is accusing the speaker of being a hypocrite, I mean that’s how he ends this last ad. Well look, when I was in Congress with Ron, he used to put in, he would put in hundreds of millions of dollars of appropriations requests, earmarks. And then he would sit on the floor and he would wait until the vote was certain that his earmarks would be funded and then he would put his card in the slot and vote No. So that he could then say with purity, 'I don’t vote for earmarks.'"* *"He doesn’t complete the deal. He'd vote against his own earmarks, knowing that they were going to pass, so he could then have his cake and eat it too. And you know what, I don’t think that that's a totally honest way of dealing with your fellow colleagues on that. If you truly are against the earmarks, then you don't put them in and you don’t request them." In a way, he was for the earmarks but he was against the earmarks, if you know what I mean. I think that is kind of a hypocritical position to take. So I think people ought to be a little careful when they live in glass houses on this." * -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
